Airspan Networks for Utilities
Smart Grid Communication
Enabling Smarter, Faster Communication Dressing their power grids with next-generation, 4G technologies, Utilities are
re-defi ning communications networks in their industry. These IP-based networks
increase automation, management and control while improving operational
effi ciency and reliability.
Airspan for Utility Communication and Smart Grids
The overall goals of a smart grid are to bring the utility into the next generation of technology, run a more effi cient business, save on operational costs - which later translate into consumer savings - and to become more environmentally friendly (green).
Airspan solutions offer advanced functionality and high bandwidth grid communications reducing laborintensive costs while increasing effi ciency and visibility
Smart Grid is a term attributed to next
generation utility networks in which broadband
telecommunications is overlaid on a utility’s
distribution grid to enable ‘smarter’ performance. The
‘smart’ grid optimizes the utility’s assets and operating
effi ciency, communicates usage information in real-
time, enables consumer participation, and enhances
overall reliability, security and quality.
Utilities must maintain grid reliability while also
vastly increasing the communications complexity
by upgrading the grid to support real-time two-
way broadband communications from the Utility
Operations Center all the way to the consumer’s
meter. Utility grid communications are being designed
to support machine-to-machine and low latency
connectivity, while retaining the zero fault-tolerance
of grid operators and public utility commissions.
In order to accomplish this, the power and energy
sector must incorporate several pieces that allow
real-time, two-way broadband communication across
the grid. Each consumer location (such as a home
or business) must be equipped with a meter that
communicates information such as usage, failures, and
demand-response triggers. 4G base stations and CPE
devices must be placed along grid points to enable
Demand Response (DR), Distribution Automation
(DA), Tele-protection, Mobile Workforce & connectivity
to the HAN.
4G technology is ideal for smart grids, as it allows for
the two-way communication, remote monitoring and
control of the grid, quick and easy installation as well as
broadband speeds. Furthermore, with 4G, utilities can
remotely locate, isolate and restore power outages, thereby
increasing the stability of the grids. The multiple megabits
supported by 4G signifi cantly outpace the bandwidth
supported by outdoor Wi-Fi, Digital Cellular or proprietary
solutions – this gives grid operators an ability to not only
address the primary meter communications requirements
of the network, but also the ability to leverage a common
platform for real property management, mobile workforce
connectivity (including VoIP support) and CCTV camera
security backhaul.
Enabling Smarter, Faster Communication
Addressing Smart Grid Communications Needs
Airspan has reliable, robust and secure connectivity solutions
that are ideal for grid managers. With standardized 4G products
in licensed, lightly licensed and unlicensed frequencies ranging
from 700 MHz to 6.0 GHz that off er quick and aff ordable
installation, Quality of Service (QoS) – the technology that
allows for prioritization of data – and highest quality wireless
connectivity, Airspan can help utilities become more effi cient
and greener enterprises.
Most importantly, Airspan off ers truly broadband speeds with
very low latency, an essential part of a smart grid network. In
addition to simple usage and meter reading applications, the
network must be able to communicate bandwidth-demanding
applications such as mapping, video tools for mobile workers,
or video services for facility monitoring.
Additionally, Airspan equipment is suitable for a variety of
deployment scenarios whether in rural or urban regions,
extreme weather conditions, challenging terrain or low
population density.
